she thanked her shadow


she woke, walk towards the mirror questioning who she is, and why she's here typical question most people would ask at least according to her and while she is here in the dim sky light a trace into her space she glance and remember he escaped his own shadows destroyed the minds of your older son and daughter giving them a childhood filled with pain, insecurity, and rage this was even done before she was born to not yet have reached the world of existence and to see all this to not even be there and to leave them unable to shed their tears of hatred and pain as she looks back, she remembers his shadow this role, unusual, but invisible role that was never there surprising to know that she knew what he look like praying that when she stares into that mirror his face will never show up on hers he left behind the very people that loved and adored him leaving behind trails of bruises and tears the torments that he gave to her will stay with her until the end of time, the end of her life she'll pass away, feeling more content knowing that she finally escaped from him she couldn't understand him, but yet she remembers him she remembers all the hugs and kisses she remembers hearing him telling her sisters and of course her, that he loved us he told them they were his pride and joy this was something she couldn't understand......until now she guessed that he was afraid to think she hated him on the contrary, she loved him she even thanked him.......... not because she had a traumatic childhood, knowing that there would always be an empty space in the family photo not even because he left their mother to struggle and carry the family on her own but because he is the greatest teacher and example she have ever known he taught her to give women the respect and care that they rightfully deserve he taught her never beat your significant up or run from her family, whenever she gets one........ she's not sure what's to become of her later on she hopes it's for good matter of fact, she know that it was for good one thing she will never allow herself to become and that is.....him!!!!!!
